  2. Pyrometric cone - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pyrometric_cone

    Definition. The pyrometric cone is "A pyramid with a triangular base and of a defined shape and size; the "cone" is shaped from a carefully proportioned and uniformly mixed batch of ceramic materials so that when it is heated under stated conditions, it will bend due to softening, the tip of the cone becoming level with the base at a definitive ...

  3. Pyrometric device - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pyrometric_device

    Pyrometric devices gauge heatwork (the combined effect of both time and temperature) when firing materials inside a kiln. Pyrometric devices do not measure temperature, but can report temperature equivalents. In principle, a pyrometric device relates the amount of heat work on ware to a measurable shrinkage or deformation of a regular shape.

  4. Hermann Seger - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hermann_Seger

    Ceramicist. Known for. Pyrometric cones. Hermann Seger (1832–1893) was a German ceramicist who is widely credited with pioneering the development of the pyrometric cone, which enabled the rapid growth of the ceramic industry around the turn of the century.

  5. Lambert conformal conic projection - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lambert_conformal_conic...

    Aeronautical chart on Lambert conformal conic projection with standard parallels at 33°N and 45°N. A Lambert conformal conic projection (LCC) is a conic map projection used for aeronautical charts, portions of the State Plane Coordinate System, and many national and regional mapping systems. It is one of seven projections introduced by Johann ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Orton_Ceramic_Foundation

    The roots of the Orton Ceramic Foundation date back to the establishment of the "Standard Pyrometric Cone Company" in 1896 by Edward J. Orton, Jr. In 1894, he was appointed the first Chairman of the Ceramic Engineering Department at Ohio State University, the first ceramic engineering school in the United States.

    Pottery is also: (1) the art and wares made by potters; (2) a ceramic material (3) a place where pottery wares are made; and (4) the business of the potter. (W) Published definitions of Pottery include: -- "All fired ceramic wares that contain clay when formed, except technical, structural, and refractory products."

  8. Conical coordinates - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Conical_coordinates

    The elliptic cones intersect the sphere in spherical conics. Conical coordinates, sometimes called sphero-conal or sphero-conical coordinates, are a three-dimensional orthogonal coordinate system consisting of concentric spheres (described by their radius r) and by two families of perpendicular elliptic cones, aligned along the z - and x -axes ...

  9. HSL and HSV - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HSL_and_HSV

    Fig. 1. HSL (a–d) and HSV (e–h). Above (a, e): cut-away 3D models of each. Below: two-dimensional plots showing two of a model's three parameters at once, holding the other constant: cylindrical shells (b, f) of constant saturation, in this case the outside surface of each cylinder; horizontal cross-sections (c, g) of constant HSL lightness or HSV value, in this case the slices halfway ...
